Nursing Experience Analysis

The definitions of Advanced Practice Nursing have continued to be developed and defined in a variety of ways over time. The definition of APN had become critically essential more than ever as the significant increase in need of APN and the impact of APN’s part in healthcare environment. The definitions provided by the United States Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) DNP Essentials, the APRN consensus model and Hamric, Hanson, Tracy & O'Grady in textbook have similarities and distinctions.

The colleagueship analysis is an approach to complete research and analyze an issue in nursing and healthcare. The analysis works around understanding how nursing care is being provided to patients. Providing patients with the best quality care is important for patient outcomes. Instances occur where patient cares aren’t being prioritized and met in a timely manner by the nurse. Therefore, the following analysis uses data to analyze the issue that influences the policy possibility of, implementing an acuity assessment tool for patient care prioritization.

Through personal student interviews, the phenomenon of undergraduate nursing students' experiences in the context of communicating the psychiatric patients was described. This pilot study suggests that one cannot fully understand the breadth and depth of this experience until one has lived the experience. This section reflects the findings of this pilot study in accordance with existing literature as previously reported. Practical implications for nursing within education and limitations will be discussed and will conclude with suggestions for future research.

Concept Analysis refers to the rigorous process of brining clarity to the definition of the concepts used in science. To better understand patients and processes, nurses use concept analysis to explore concepts. The purpose of concept analysis is to clarify, recognize, and define concepts that describe phenomena.

I like to introduce myself and express interest in the Patient Experience Nurse position at BHL. My name is Shana and I am diabetes educator at the hospital looking for a new opportunity and professional growth. I am working at the outpatient diabetes location today but can call you at a convenient time today or stop by your office in person Thursday, October 6th between 0900-1600. Do you have time today or Thursday to discuss the position?

My patient Mary Ramussen came to the clinic for dental hygiene services. She is a 66 year old lady taking several medications. All of her vitals were within normal limits at her visit. Vitals are very important to take because a patient may not have any symptoms. Medications can have many contraindications, adverse reactions, or an interaction with other medications. It is important to have knowledge of medications and how to avoid adverse reactions or toxicity. Some medications can interact with local anesthetic with vasoconstrictors and cause effects on the heart. Knowing all medications that a patient is taking is important for knowing what over-the-counter medications to recommend post treatment. Some medications

Starting my clinical experience this week, I felt confident in the interview process. I knew what information I wanted to gather for my care plan. I also knew that all the information I needed would not be found in the chart. I had to gain the patient’s trust so that he or she could open up to me. Upon finding out that my patient was a transgender male, I was uncomfortable. Despite of my knowledge and my experiences in the healthcare field, I was afraid of offending the patient by referring to him as the wrong sex or the wrong name. Therefore, I said to myself “In this profession, I must be non-judgmental and put all my personal opinions aside to care for the patient”. That is when I started to feel confident in my ability to be compassionate

I enjoy reading your post. It contains great information about nursing information and skills needed to educate, care and promote patient care. I agree with you that nurses need to know where to information, the reasons for why the information is needed, read, evaluate it and use it. I think all three skills work hand in hand. For nurses to provide excellent care to patients, it is essential to know how the body works and when there is dysfunction, find the information about the dysfunction, interpret and understand the information, and how and when to seek further information (Patel, 2015). It would be it difficult for nurses without these skills to provide safe care for the patient. Do you think nurses will perform adequately on their

The first of the five steps of the Nursing Process is assessment. Assessment is the step where the nurse collects information regarding the client’s previous and current health (Potter, Wood, & Ross-Kerr, 2010a, p. 159). When assessing an individual, there are several factors that need to be considered. For this paper, I subjectively and objectively collected information from R. Subjective data is made up of what the client tells the nurse (Potter, Wood, & Ross-Kerr, 2010a, p. 162). Objective data is composed of interpretations of other aspects of the client (Potter, Wood, & Ross-Kerr, 2010a, p. 162). During my interview with R, I asked her multiple questions regarding the determinants of health, which is subjective data, as well as assessed

Many people think when they see nurses that they are experts in their fields, however, that is not always the case. As a matter of fact, that is rarely the case. Many factors contribute to the expertise of nurses to include their education, how they were trained, their experience and where they were trained or currently work. Coworkers also play a part in the expertise of the nurses. The level of expertise was broken down according to Benner’s (1984) five levels which include levels such as expert, proficient, competent, beginner, and novice. Becoming an experienced nurse allows for reflection and growth leading to a better outcome for patients and possibly expertise of the nurse.

After many years with restraints that bounded me with limited nursing practice and fewer chances of career advancement became the motivating factor for me to seek higher educations. The year 1999 was the turning point of my nursing career. I became a registered nurse. As an RN I took advantage of career advancement that my employer offered. I took on internship in telemetry and medical emergency nursing. My experience in the telemetry department afforded me the opportunity to work as charge nurse, float to ICU and care for patients with a wide variety of diseases, and multiple cormorbities . My years in the ED taught me how to work independently with the supervision of emergency medical physicians and apply my critical thinking skills to

     “Nursing is an art: and if it is to be made an art, It requires an exclusive devotion as hard a preparation, as any painter´s or sculptor´s work; for what is the having to do with dead canvas or dead marble, compared with having to do with the living body, the temple of God´s spirit? It is one of the Fine Arts: I had almost said, the finest of Fine Arts.” Spoken by a true nurse, Florence Nightingale; a pioneer of nursing and a reformer of hospital sanitation methods.

I am responding to the job opening as a Registered Nurse available at Baylor Hospital. The requirements for this job are a close match to my experience. I have my Associate Degree in Nursing and currently pursing my Bachelors in Nursing (BSN) completing in March 2017. I have attended the training course in Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation.

Asking, what is the patient’s experience of the Intensive Critical Care Unit (ICCU) can help health care professionals to ensure that even with the advancements in technology and medical interventions, the patient remains at the centre of the care and that technology and intervention does not become a barrier between nurse and patient. The benefit of understanding the patient experience and their needs and expectations is that it can facilitate person-centred nursing care (Dougherty et al, 2008) and will enable improvement through service user feedback. Patient experience could be the most relevant value of nursing care that aims to be both person and family-centred. The value of this for nurses is to gain insight into the total psychological, emotional and physical experience of being the receiver of care and treatment in a place where often, freedom and choice in the moment is declined in an act of non-consensual submission (Cutler et al, 2013). As a healthcare professional it may become less apparent as to what it feels like to stay in ICCU when you are afraid, fearful and unwell. When we are unsure what the

I was called observe Lia Overbrook and analyze her home and school environment shortly after the death of her friend, Cassie. She was missing classes in school, and counselors were worried that she might not have adequate resources to deal with the grief of losing a close friend. Furthermore, her case is especially difficult as Lia has been hospitalized and treated at an eating disorder facility called New Seasons twice before. This made the counselors especially worried about Lia’s ability to cope in a healthy manner in the environments she is in on a regular basis. Over the course of a few days, I learned more about Lia’s home and school environments through observation of her daily life and her interactions with those around her.
